Nokia board chairman Risto Siilasmaa went on a Finnish television show, and stated that while he is confident in Windows Phone 8, the company does have a back-up plan if it doesn't work out. Speculation aplenty - what is this backup plan? The answer's pretty easy, if you ask me.

Am I the only one that still has some hope that Meego and, don't now a N9++ device could be still being cooked?

Nokia is still investing in Qt and with all the Meego stuff they have, they could still have something to compete with.

I would love to see another meego phone, and I would buy it, but I think that's unlikely.

Elop already got rid of the symbian developers when he outsourced symbian development to Accenture and the meego team was laid off recently. So the question is if Nokia still has the competence to build and maintain its' own OS after Elop? I doubt it.
